About this book
This comprehensive 10-volume hardback anthology represents the definitive literary archive of Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz. Meticulously organized across ten volumes, the collection chronicles Mahfouz's creative evolution and narrative mastery: starting from his early Pharaonic historical trilogy (Khufu's Wisdom, Rhadopis of Nubia, The Struggle of Thebes), transitioning into his iconic social realism (New Cairo, Midaq Alley, and The Cairo Trilogy), extending through his existential and philosophical masterworks (The Thief and the Dogs, Adrift on the Nile, Children of Gebelawi, and The Harafish), and culminating in his meditative, late-style prose (Echoes of an Autobiography and Dreams of Departure). The collection offers a grand socio-political and human portrait of 20th-century Egypt, examining timeless themes of justice, time, mortality, and power.
Why read it?
It is the ultimate collector's edition and definitive reference for Arabic literature, consolidating the lifetime achievement of the Arab world's greatest novelist into one beautifully presented, authoritative collection.
Who is it for?
Ideal for institutional and academic libraries, scholars of Arabic literature and Middle Eastern studies, devoted readers of Naguib Mahfouz, and collectors of landmark literary complete works.
